This guide created by Oxfam supports education staff to introduce climate justice in an engaging and practical way. It offers step-by-step activities, discussion prompts and planning templates that help young people explore the issues and reflect on how climate change affects people in different ways.
Through these activities, students are encouraged to identify practical, achievable actions they can take, either individually or collectively.
Alongside this, the resource develops communication, leadership and decision-making skills, while creating opportunities to build empathy, strengthen agency and grow confidence in taking action.
It can be used across curriculum areas including English, geography, PSHE and citizenship, either as a stand-alone tool or in combination with related lesson plans.
